Michael F. Weaver

Michael Franklin Weaver (1858-1899) was a resident of Emerald Ranch, Oklahoma during the late 19th century. In 1899, he witnessed Arthur Morgan's assault on Cooper Brown and accused him of theft (although Morgan insisted that he was collecting a debt), and he attempted to ride off to alert the authorities. Morgan chased him down and convinced Weaver into remaining silent, but Weaver had second thoughts and attempted to shoot Morgan before being shot dead.
